I have now read both reviews of your manuscript. The two referees suggest minor changes to the manuscript and the amendments you propose in your response appear adequate. So I look forward to receiving a revised version of your manuscript.

Thank you for your careful revision of your manuscript "What climate signal is contained in decadal to centennial scale isotope variations from Antarctic ice cores?", which I am happy to accept for publication. The reason I recommend to publish subject to technical corrections is to give you the opportunity to address some minor style issues (see also attached pdf) and to perform any further editorial tweaks as you see fit.

Thank you again for submitting your interesting paper to our special issue and I look forward to seeing the method applied to other proxy archives.

Proxy data on climate variations contain noise from many sources and, for reliable estimates, we need to determine those temporal scales at which the climate signal in the proxy record dominates the noise. We developed a method to derive timescale-dependent estimates of temperature proxy signal-to-noise ratios, which we apply and discuss in the context of Antarctic ice-core records but which in general are applicable to a large set of palaeoclimate records.
